How do I transfer mov footage to premiere element 7

HI
I bought the canon 500d dslr camera and I'm unable to load it onto  my premiere. The codec is missing as the camera shoots in mov. Is it possible to convert  it so that it will work on premiere 7
Thanks

I did some homework on your questions and came up with some interesting answers which you might want to explore:
The Camera
a. Your camera Canon 500D is otherwise known as the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i SLR and records
1920 x 1080 at 20 fps
or
1280 x 720 at 30 fps
or
640 x 480 at 30 fps
Which one of the three is involved in your question? Or, is it all? And what Premiere Elements 7 project preset are you using? So, if you go the conversion to DV AVI route, you are going to end up with a frame size of 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL) whether you select DV AVI standard or widescreen.
I have downloaded Canon 500D samples of each of those types and have had no issues importing them importing them into Premiere Elements 7 with the appropriate project preset. Before I imported them into Premiere Elements 7, I checked out the video and audio codecs for each and found that they appeared to be the same..
1920 x 1080 at 20 fps
Video Codec AVC1 Name H.264
Audio Codec: sowt: 16-bit signed little-endian
44100 Hz
1280 x 1080 at 30 fps
Video Codec AVC1 Name H.264
Audio Codec: sowt: 16-bit signed little-endian
44100 Hz
640 x 480 at 30 fps
Video Codec AVC1 Name H.264
Audio Codec: sowt: 16-bit signed little-endian
44100 Hz
So that surfaces the question why are you getting no codec message and what to do about it.
a. Conversion of your AVC1.mov to DV AVI is one possibility if you want 720 x 480 pixels frame size. If you are after DV AVI 4:3, then Prism Converter should serve your purposes. If you are after DV AVI 16:9, then MPEG Streamclip is the route to follow since Prism does not do a DV AVI 16:9.
b. BUT, based on my results, you should not have to convert that Canon video before importing. So first I ask, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer as well as Windows Media Player? Codecs used in Premiere Elements typically come from Windows and those that came along with the installation of a player. I have even seen sites for downloading free "AVC1 codec".
c. In order to check my results, you could try downloading the video samples that I used for my test and see if they import or do not import into your Premiere Elements.

(for the last one See 0505.mov, 0509.mov, and 0510.mov.)
AVCHD-like and AVCHD-Lite formats as well as the various wrappers .mov, .mp4 can be challenging for Premiere Elements, but in this case, IF I HAVE IDENTIFIED THE CAMERA THAT YOU ARE USING, there should be no problem importing these media into Premiere Elements 7. I have never and did not download the AVC1 video codec to get my successful results in this mini study.
I am looking forward to your results.

    How can I transfer movies form my macbook pro to my apple air?

    If you have a wireless network, you can enable file sharing with each and transfer select data from one to the other via your wi-fi network.
    Or if you have an external drive used for backup purposes, you can transfer the movies that way.
    If you have Home Sharing enabled with iTunes on each and a wireless network, you don't need to transfer anything unless you want the movie available when away from home.

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync

    How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    Another way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

    How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
    I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's  new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.

    If it's on a SD card in your camera, you cau use the camera connection kit, either by connecting the camera or inserting the SD card.
    If it's on your computer, you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).

    You don't - AppleTV 3 store nothing.
    Instead (assuming th efeature is available in your country), you download from the internet in iTunes.
    Either on the iTunes store home page or in the Movies category you should find Purchased Quicklinks on the right side of the screen - redownload movies there.  Set download quality in iTunes Preferences.
